That makes sense. I wouldn't let him get to that point, but just trying to figure out how it all works.
Thanks!

It's been a little over a week since the diagnosis, and a little over two weeks since the rhinoscopy.
He's still his normal little self, but I have been noticing more snorting the last few days. Not quite as violent as before the rhinoscopy, but he's been doing it in his sleep again on occasion. The vet says this is a slow-growing cancer, but it concerns me that the snorting is occurring again so soon when they removed a good portion of the tumor during the rhinoscopy.
I keep wondering when I'll know when "it's time." The vet said it will be annoying, both for his people and him, and not so much painful, but I can't imagine it's fun for him to be snorting and struggling to breathe at times?

He loves playing ball... I'd definitely say that's his favorite thing in life. As soon as he sees his ball, he is focused on nothing else. I have a small yard, but my mom has 6 acres so every time we go there he knows it's Chuck-It time and he chases the ball forever. I've definitely been making an effort to play more often
But he's not too biased, he loves most toys:
That's Lou on Monday with his new polar bear toy.
Maybe see if you can find a ball like toy for in the house that will keep him guessing as to which way it will bounce. I bet the 2 of you would have a lot of fun with something like that.
Edited for poor grammar.
